How to Boil Water.

Unjust tell you the old story of how
the late Charles Delmonico used to
talk about the new hot water cure.
He said the Delmonicos were the first
to recommend it to guests who COM
planned OF having no appetite. "Take
a cup OF hot water and lemon and
you will feel BETTER" was the formula
adopted; and the cup OF hot water
and lemon WAS simply little hot
water with drop OF lemon juice in it
to take away the insipidlty. For this
ambitious remedy, the caterers charg-
ed the price OF their best liquors.
twenty-five cents or more-and it
certainly was q wiser way to spend
small change than for alcohol. Flew
people know how to cook water"
Charles used to affirm. 1.-THE secret
is in putting good. fresh water into a
clean kettle, already quite warm, and
setting the water to boiling quickly,
and then taking it right off for use in
tea, coffee, or other drinks, before it
is spoiled. To let it steam and sim
mer and evaporate until the good
water is in the atmosphere, and the
lime and iron and dregs only LETT in
the kettle-bah! that is what makes q
great many people sick. and is worse
than no water at ALL" Every lady
who reads this valuable recipe OF a
great aud careful cook, should never
forget kew to Geek water,

As to Living in Unity.

The town Of Unity is picturesque
tract OF hill country in western New
Hampshire. A good old clergyman,
living in an adjoining town, was ono
day called upon by a rural couple who
wished to be married. The proper
ceremony was duly performed, and
then the minister gave them some
fatherly exhorta:ion and advice
about their new course. "Now that
your lives are promised to each other
truly and unselfishly," said he, ~
hope nothing will disturb them, but
that you will always live happily in
unity" "Wall, l do know about
that. parson," objected the young
man, doubtfully; "we're married. as
you say, and l hope We'll get along
all right; but as for livin' in Unity, I
never will for it's the rockiest place

forward in body, and there, plain
as lighted lamp at midnight, was q
big ship tearing down upon us and on
ly q cables length away. Not one OF
us remembered that it was q dead
calm, and we yelled out in chorus to
attract the strangers attention. He
held for us until Icould see the sparkle
of copper under his fore foot, and then
q shit at the helm sent him along our
broadside, and tie performances OF
the previous occasion were repeated.
He went out of sight after rounding
to, and by that time our captain was
on deck. He questioned every man
separately, and all told tho same sto-
ry, and later on, as he stood with me
on the quarter, he said:
"Mr. Merwin, that's bad luck again.
1t may mean something more than

Next day we raised a whale and he
stove two boats and killed three men.
and it was eleven days after that be-
fore we raised another On the night
of the 10th, with all the men in my
watch wide awake, and the ship drift
ing off before q gentle breeze, the
ghostly visitor came out OF the dark
ness again, ran us past from stern to
stem this time, and was seen as plain
ly as before. Next day we raised
three whales at once. Down went
three boats, the captain leading. l
killed my whale almost at once. The
other boats made fast and were run
off, and from that day to this have
never been heard OF. We saw the
stranger no more after that. Had
he appeared once more believe that
that every man OF the crew would
have leaped into the sea and sought
death by drowning.

pany and their Indian wives. They
present most peculiar combination
of the Scotch and Indian types, the
dark skin and high-cheek bones of the
Indian, with the light hair and blue
eyes OF the Scotchman. Physically,
they are Il splendid race, being 1.-the
tall and muscular and are the best
and most enduring runners lever saw,
travelling hundreds OF miles through
the woods in the dead OF winter with
incredible rapidity. Allspeak French,
but the broad Scotch burr is percepti-
bic in their pronunciation, making
their language a most remark able
one. They are famous hunters and
trappers, and. when not drunk, very
peaceable. They took no part i'll the
recent uprising in the northwest, as
they have no affiliations with the
French half-breeds or Indians, but
form little community by them
selves. AS voyageurs they are I'M

TO life in villages or towns and are
fast moving away before the advance

A Pretty Story.
From Tho Queen.

= AoH SSuecus
Miss Linwood had the privilege OF
copying any pictures in the gallery at
Belvoir Castle, the Duke and Duchess
of Rutland being her kind and init
mate friends. 1t must have been
about 1925 Or 1926 that she had just
finished her copy of precious land
scape by Il think) Poussin. when
friend of the Dukes, a great connois-
seur, visited him and desired to see
this picture. He came with the Duke
to Miss Linwood's house for the pur-
pose. The landscape was brought in
to the room and carefully placed in
good light. The art critic was delight
ed and voluble in his admiration, but
when he arose and approached for
nearer view, Miss Linwood ordered "the
other picture" to be fetched aud plac.
ed beside the first one, which was then
found to be her own work, SO perfect
were her limitations.
The Dowager Duchess OF Rutland
had been a renowned beauty, as a
most lovely engraved portrait she
gave to Miss Linwood bore witness.
One day when her grace's little grand
daughter was with her, she, stroking
the pretty young cheek, exclaimed
with a sigh; "Ah my dear, what would
you not give to be as beautiful as
was?"
The young lady was equal to the
occasion, and, raising the fair jewelled
old hand to her lips, replied: Gust

would to be as young as am"

form upon the grass, resting the head
against a rock. Then they bathed
his face with cold water and forced
through his lips some of the liquor
from a field flask. After awhile life
and consciousness slowly returned.
''l4et me die here, and save your
selves" he whispered. II can neither
walk or ride; you have q chance to
escape during the night, if you will
try; after daylight you will all be
lost"
Ihereupon the four men retreated
several steps for consultation, which
was held in an undertone and lasted
but q few minutes. oM
Then Jim Arneaux, rifle in hand,
climbed upon a high ledge OF rocks for
purposes OF observation. The other
three returned to the wounded man
and as the latter was now shivering
Healy built a small fire, while Stuart
and Beidler threw themselves upon
the ground.
"Save yourselves, comrades" groan-
ed Brent once again; 81 am too weak
to attempt escape
Everyone was silent for q moment,
then Stuart spoke slowly and deliber-
ately: 1--WE are not going to leavey you
in this conditions; we are going to stay
with YOU
ooh" implored the other, "do let
me die here. My life is not deserving
the sacrifice. You have condemned
me as Il criminal and without the re-
spect OF honorable men havenothing
to live for" Tears ran down his pale
cheeks. and he raised his hands inn
ploringly as if in prayer.
"The matter is settled" answered
Stuart, almost roughly; "as long as
life remains with any OF us we'll de-
tend you"
Thanks, thanks" then after q
short pause, captain, you think me
guilty, but l swear to you by the
memory OF my dear mother that |
am innocent. Believe me, captain,
before it is too late, so that may die
in peace"
The three men looked upon him
with pitying eyes, and something like
d sleam of light passed over the sui
ferer's face.
I'VE do believe you, Brent" finally
said Beidler. with u quivering voice,
do we not comrades?"
Certainly, with all our hearts"
affirmed the two Others.
Then | can die in peace" whispered
Brent, breathing with an audible sob,
and sinking sideways from the rock
upon the grass.
At the same moment there was an
explosion, and the vislantes were
horror struck to see that Brent had
sent a pistol-shot through his brain.
Long and silently they stood around
the lifeless body of the young man
who had offered them the only oppor-
tunity of escape.
just before day break, under cover OF
the darkness which precedes the dawn
OF the morning, the vigilantes silently
stole through the underbrush and sur
rounding chain of "relskins," leaving
their horses behind, and managing to
reach the nearest camp during the fol-
lowing night.
Upon the lone hill where Brent died
there stands to-day % small wooden
cross with the following inscriptions:

He died that Others might live"

Room for Doubt,

Billy Bliven has worn an eighteen
karat high polish bald head for the last
five years or more, notwithstanding the
fact that he is still comparatively a
young man. 1t is sad that his badness
is due TO the mental exertion involved
in trying to remember just what he
tells each of his acquaintance relative
to the number of goods he has sold, so
that he will not be in danger of telling
the wrong story to the wrong person.
The other evening he met near friend
in the hotel, and Billy straightway be-
came confidential.

An Ancient Manuscript with a
Very Queer Legend Attached.

The Royal Library at Stockholm
contains remarkable literary
curiosity called the devils code,
which is said to be the largest manu-
script in the world. Every letter Of
this gigantic piece OF work is as beauti-
fully formed as il it were infinitely and
carefully drawn, and it seem almost
impossible that it should have been
done by single human being. The
DEVILS code was brought to Sweden
from Prague after the Thirty Years
War, and the Deutsche Hausfrauen
Zeitung tells the following story OF its
origin: A poor monk who had been
condemned to death was told that
his sentence would be committed if he
were able to copy the whole of the
code in a single night. Relying on
the impossibility OF the task, his
judges furnished him with the original,
pen and ink, and LETT him in his we'll
barred prison.
A drowning mar. catches at a straw
to save himself, and the unfortunate
monk began to try his last impossible
task with the vain hope OF accom-
plishing it. Before long however, he
saw that he could not save his life by
his own weak exertions. Afraid OF
cruel and certain death, and perhaps
doubling the promise of better life
hereafter, he invoked the aid OF the
Prince of Darkness, promising to sur.
render his soul if he were assisted in
his task. The dark spirit appeared
as soon as he was called, concluded
the contract, sat down like any copy
ing clerk, and next morning the DEVILS
code was finished.

VIGILANTES OF MONTANA.

ped OF United States troops, and the
population OF that territory embraced
many Adventures and criminals, who
recognized neither law nor the right
OF property, the so-caled road agents
held high carnival, and horrible crimes
on the high roads were of daily occur
renee. Then it was that few fearless
men decided to take the law into their
own hands and to relieve the country
OF this dangerous element.
Upon the secret call OF these men
among whom Colonel C.. Sanford, an
attorney, and X. Beidler, Deputy
United States marshal, deserve to be
especially mentioned. and who still
live as highly respected citizens in Hell
ena, Mcnt., the organization of the
"Nigilantes," was called into existence,
the members pledging themselves by
solemn oath to mutual support in
proceeding against the outlaws.
That such an undertaking was no
child's play, but required courage and
determination, Will be readily believed
